Job 9:21
World English Bible (WEB)
I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
In context
19 If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
20 Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
21 I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
22 “It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
23 If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
